I'm going to Maine tomorrow!!!!!*

* Fuck yeah!!

Lesley got the latest David Sedaris book and she was supposed to let me read it when she finished it. 
Apparently she's not done because I've been though two and a half books and I still haven't seen the one she's on. 
Oh well.

My last read was this one:

She's Come Undone (Oprah's Book Club)

Wally Lamb

Awesome, Awesome Book.  I should have known it would be because both Les and Shaz said it would be but also because it's by Wally Lamb.  Amazing story.

The Memory Keeper's Daughter

Kim Edwards

This one is the one I'm currently reading.  Given to me by Lesley to make me stop bugging her about the David Sedaris book. 
(Actually this one and the previous one were both given to me by Lesley to keep me quiet.) 
So far this book is about a million, zillion times better than I thought it was going to be.  After reading so many of Lesley's books I'm noticing a trend, they tend to either have something to do with Twins or Mental illness... or both.

Hot Property (Hot Zone)

Carly Phillips

Oh Dear... I can't believe I'm admitting to this. 
This one is my next read.  As you can see from the cover it's probably not the most intellectual book I've ever read but the mechanic (one of my regulars at work) snagged it off one of the planes for me (it was left behind, wonder why?)  I made the mistake of telling him I have been known to read the occasional cheesy romance novel.  I'm going to give it 3 chapters, if I'm not totally consumed with it after 3 chapters I'm going to go back to bugging Lesley for the David Sedaris book.

Here are a few things that I learned while Nathan was here on vacation.  (He's still here... leaving tomorrow unless I can convince him to miss his flight.)

• Working while your best friend is in town is just stupid.  Even if it is only one night.  You will hate it with every fiber of your being.
• Taco night is a great thing no matter what coast you're on but when with new people its best to get a variety of bean types.
• Monopalova is yummy.  Especially with Sprite and Sunny D.
• It is not a good idea to go to Multnomah Falls the day after (somewhat) intensive drinking.  Because Nathan will suggest going to the top and neither of you will be wearing the proper foot gear or be hydrated enough.  It WILL suck and it's not even really worth it.  (It's even worse if it's the first day of your period.)
• The Mount Hood Loop is kind of really fucking boring.
• What the fuck is a snow park?  (And why are the majority of the Snow Parks spelt "Sno Park"?)
• As much as going to a clothing optional beach sounds like a great super way to rid yourself of tan lines, it's best to not do it when seriously intensive cramps are present.  And if going with someone who burns even in the shade, it's best to bring at least two sheets to lay on or someones going to be not satisfied with the logistics.

I think that's it for now.  I need to go take a shower and get ready to go to the coast.   

Why?

What'd I ever do to you?

Do you miss me as much as I miss you?

I don't understand what I did to piss you off and make you leave me.  And I don't want to have to replace you because I know I could never find anything that treated me nearly as good as you did.  But I will if I have to.  Just come back to me, my love, I'm lonely without you.  Come back to me and end all this foolishness.

If I never see you again, my lovely iPod, you have to at least know this much.  Our time together was very special to me.  From the time you arrived at my apartment in PDX all new to me fresh with music and porn still loaded on you, to all the times we fell asleep together on the ship, all the plane rides we took together, you taught me how to use Amarok to load music on you, you even stuck by my side when I started going to the gym as much as we both hated it... you never said anything. 

I miss you and if there is anything I can do to make you return... tell me.

I love you, iPod... and I always will.
